History

In 1994, WWSN was a country station called "The Hawk". Regent Communications moved the WHKW letters from 103.9 to a new dial position at 107.7.[1][2] The station became known as WSFR and aired a classic rock format.

On October 28, 2011 WSFR relaunched its classic rock format as "107.7 The Eagle", billing themselves as "Louisville Classic Hits".[3][4]
